Introduction

Customised Learning provides uniquely tailored and custom-designed management, leadership and skills training and education programmes, services and interventions based on the unique requirements, needs and specifications of clients.

We enhance and empower human resources to be high-performance assets. Through our unique learning pathway, we transform executives, employees, managers and leaders into innovators and independent thinkers directly contributing to growth, progression and sustainability at any given point of their careers.

Customised Learning caters for the training and education needs of stakeholders in corporate, commercial and government sectors and also serves SETAs, NPOs, NGOs and CBOs.

We begin with a 360 degree assessment of your training and staff development needs and extract specific objectives that our programmes, services and interventions have to deliver on. The process includes task clarification, a competency needs analysis, identification of the skills gaps and the proposed intervention, which might include technical competencies, intra or interpersonal skills and internal effective processes.
